This is a much newer chip than the PR166 in question. The original was designed to replace a Pentium, but was really a souped-up 486. The MX-series contained instructions similar to MMX, and some of the Pentium-Pro capabilities. It was the equivilent of a Pentium-II in some ways. -- Paul A.

I thought I would put in my benchmarks here also. This shows amd k6-III is 586 and much older cyrix is 686, go figure..
